Happy Birthday to Marshall Mathers AKA Eminem!

Marshall is someone who is full of surprises and all kinds of depth and humor with a great deal of fire backing it up. He is very verbal and he is a fighter. Can we see that in his natal chart?

We see the battle rapper in Marshall’s loaded constellation of Libra (art, music, relations). In this space we see the Sun (fame, one’s identity), Ceres (nurturing), Uranus (genius, revolution), Mars (fire, war), Pallas Athena (creative just war).

We also see the ruler of Libra not too far off in Virgo. This may suggest that Marshall is willing to bring a spirit of healing and service to his very transformative and bellicose house of Libra. We are seeing a massive concentration of activity at this stellium (grouping of aligned planets) in Libra. There we see the caring, brilliant battle rapper.

What further suggests that deep emotions fuel this combative collection is the harmonious support (trine) we see coming from Marshall’s Moon in Aquarius. This can be someone who really cares (Moon) about populist concerns (Aquarius). This can also be someone who is emotionally (Moon) very nervous (Aquarius).

We also see a combination of Saturn (restriction, structures, work) and Vesta (devotion, sacred fire) fueling the battle rapper stellium from Gemini (communications). Here we see the will (Saturn) and also the devotion (Vesta) fueling Marshall’s intense (Mars, Pluto, Uranus in Libra) work.

What is difficult and perhaps painful here is a square between the Moon in Aquarius (emotional eccentricity, humor) and Mercury (communication, thinking) and Juno (just rule, long term relationships) in Scorpio.

Mercury and Juno in Scorpio suggests that Marshall might really particularly appreciate Scorpio type qualities in a serious partner. Scorpio energy is driven and intense, it can be loyal or vengeful and it usually involves transformation and all things usually hidden. For Marshall to have Mercury and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio, once again points us to a battle rapper who is given to protest what emotionally irritates him (see the square with the Moon in Aquarius).

In Marshall’s latest album, Curtain Call 2, we can hear that he is very emotionally connected and aggravated about the horrible things being visited on the public by our hiding tyrants.

That this battle rapper is fueled by pain and wounds is further validated by the opposition between his stellium in Libra and Chiron in Aries. I also have Chiron in Aries. Anyone can see Marshall and I are extremely wounded and angry.

Another interesting feature in Marshall’s stellium in Libra is that his Pluto is making a square with Jupiter and a trine with Neptune. Jupiter expands Pluto here (pain, intensity, healing).

Pluto is trine Neptune. Everyone has Pluto trine Neptune who is alive. It’s an oddity of how these planets are moving. What this may mean is that we are all capable of great spiritual transformation and we are certainly seeing this happening - particularly with Marshall.

In this chart, we see Neptune in Sagittarius. This suggests someone who has amplified (Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter) spiritual tendencies, honesty and a willingness to embark on an adventure or a hero’s journey.

This chart indicates that Marshall is motivated and has the will and gifts to fulfill a destiny that involves fighting for spiritual and human interests.
